I don't have answers for you, but my Dr. is having me do one soon also. I don't have it scheduled yet, but I think I'll be doing it next Saturday the 1st.

Which test did you take? Could you take the three hour one just to be sure? Sometimes you can be positive on the one hour test, but negative on the three hour. Either way, I'm sure you'll be fine...depending on the severity you can probably manage it well with diet.

Really? I've never heard of that before! (not that I don't believe you, but that it's interesting. )

It was ridiculous. There's nothing more cruel than making a woman who already felt like throwing up do that test. Even more ridiculous because I didn't have gd with my "large" baby. Some of us just make them big.

It actually made me so mad that I switched to a birth center immediately. I don't know if it's just their office policy out something a lot of docs do.

Yup, I can't think of a worse test with m/s than having to drink that stuff !
I don't understand why they don't seem to get that babies come in all shapes and sizes - just like the rest of us!
